Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose is "doing great" but faces a recovery of eight months to a year in his recovery from knee surgery, the team's physician said Tuesday.

The assessment by Dr. Brian Cole means the star point guard could return around Feb. 1 or miss next season. The doctor added there is a chance Rose could be back sooner, but "we're not going to rush it."
